| Travelling to/from Naples |
| You can get to Naples also from Rome by airplane/train. After landing you have |
| to move first from Fiumicino Airport to the railway station (30 minutes by train), |
| then take a train to Naples (1h and 40 minutes / 2h - depending on which kind |
| of train you choose). Schedule is approximately 1 train per hour |
| |
| Arrival/departure |
| Upon your arrival/departure, or when off the conference schedule, you will need |
| to know how to get to the conference site or hotel. Bearing in mind that in some |
| cases taking a taxi can be more necessity than luxury. From the airport you can |
| take the ALIBUS for € 3.00 (tickets on board) instead of a € 20.00 taxi ride. Ask |
| ever about the fare before starting the ride, there are fixed fares to/from major |
| destinations such as the railway station, the harbor, the main hotels, the airport |

| General advices |
| Naples is not more unsafe than any other big city in the world. We reccommend |
| to watch your handbags, wallets, watches, cameras and luggage when you walk |
| around the city. Pickpockets are not infrequent, especially in the crowded places |
| and on the buses. Do not bring with you or do not show on the street expensive |
| jewels, computer cases, and hightech stuff such as cameras and mobile phones. |
| Do not go by night in some areas of the old town such as the Spanish Quarters, |
| the Sanità and the areas around the Piazza Garibaldi railway station. Ask to the |
| conference desk and the organizers for advices about where to go, what to see |
| and to do, or visit the tourist info section of this website |
